Nokia announces winners of Lumia Cinemagraph Challenge

Nokia announced a Lumia contest earlier this month, and now the company has unveiled the two selected winners. The competition saw Lumia owners take some interesting, strange or ingenious recordings using the Cinemagraph app to produce unique GIF images. Five humorous runner-ups were showcased in the blog post, but the two winning images are priceless.

Check out the Nokia blog to view the other winning Cinemagraph by Duncan Nagle, as well as the runner-ups. Do you have some ingenious images created with the Cinemagraph app? Be sure to show them off in the comments (where GIF images should work).

my roomate's mother makes $70 an hour on the computer. She has been out of a job for 7 months but last month her pay was $15481 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read more on this site... http://www.msnbc.com.qr.net/j9yu

I'm actually rather disappointed with these. I thought the point of a cinemagraph was to have a small section of the image in motion, and the remainder standing still. The only one that really looks like it took advantage of that capability is the one with the guy in the mirror. The rest look like they could be just looping videos. I'd hoped to see more that took advantage of the unique capabilities that you don't get in a looping video.

It's actually quite surprising because there were a lot of great Cinemagraph floating in twitter when the contest started.
Though i will say that the winner Cinemagraph for some reason is kind of mesmerizing. :D

Mmmm not really. The point is that in a successful cinemagraph, there is the element of motion.. both motion that has been stopped and real motion. Yours would have been better had you caught some people on the street walking and had that part of the motion frozen with your car moving. There was one of the Nokia site that was kind of cool. The guy that was in front of the mirror and then his mirror image turned to the camera and made a face.
